Thread: Canada vs USA Today WJHC!!

Hi All

Just cause I'm a fan of "Hockey", a Canadian, but a big day for us today ... :)

World Junior Hockey Championship:



Canada defeats USA 2-1 in shootout

Canada advanced to the final of the world junior hockey championship with a 2-1 shootout win over the U.S. in Wednesday's semifinal.


Canada, winner of the last two titles, will meet Russia in Friday's championship game. The Russians beat Sweden 4-2 in the other semifinal, leaving the hosts and the Americans to battle for bronze Friday.

Congrats Guys!! Woo Hoo!!

Jeremy .... I need you in this thread!!

Congratulations!
I am thinking that the USA needs another "Miracle"

tks Bill

A couple of the players I am familiar with, I've seen throughout my last 12 or so years of local hockey ...

Brad MarchandL5'918305/11/88Hammonds Plains, NS
Luc BourdonL6'321102/16/87Shippagan, NB
Another big name in hockey, whom I am certain you know, but may find interesting to know, grew up in my neck of the woods and I watched him from the beginning of age 7 throughout age 16 - none other than Sydney Crosby. Well deserved, totally earned!!




And I am sure you have seen this video before.

1987 was a very good year!!

Woo hoo!!

I know there's a bunch of hooting and hollering going on in Halifax tonight!
Hope your poochies don't get too freaked out, or are they riding your cow while it dances in the street???

LOL

vasili:

You seem to be up on Canadian celebration customs. Now that the season is over what will Holly do tomorrow?

My cow is so mooing ... he's dingling his bell. And he really likes in here ... he's all cuddled up on the sofa here in my office, doesn't want to mooooooove, think he tinkered himself out ... he wants to stay and promises to watch more hockey ... hey CP the season is only young yet, much hockey to take in yet .... but it will rest for a while .... Vasili ... I'd say all Canadian Hockey Fans everywhere are celebrating ... it's nice there are a few local players in my neck of the woods though, makes it that much more special ... damn they played hard ... okay .... that's over ... lol ... I know you both are not that interested, thanks for listening though ...

:)

It's not that I'm not interested, but more like it is harder for me to mooooove up in priority sports like hockey. Don't get me wrong! I used to go to a lot of the Oakland Seals games (when that league was around), but hockey was never that great of a promoted sport hereabouts. I figure that it is more popular in the Mid-west and the Eastern shores most likely because it is truly a "winter sport" that can be played in just about any neighborhood.....

Just helping you along with your book Vasili, needs to be more than a few pages eh!

Speaking of books, here is something you may or may not have known ...

Now u see!! :)

Didn't understand, m'Lady......didn't find any pix, and don't get the ref as to "book"
(I thought you mentioned something completely different, purposed a new vein)
